Why are you excited to work on this project?

I don't normally do game-related development, and when I do I'm normally the lead developer - which is bad given that I have no game development experience, I'm mainly a organization/backend/architecture person.

What do you plan on building in the scope of the class? Depending on the scope,you may not be finishing the project during the course.

Creating the basic intro-level for a 2d top-down turn-based RPG.
